Hosted by resident DJs plus the WKD Girls the night, which starts at 9pm, will also include scratch cards, raffles, fun and games.

Also this evening over in Burnley, Koko’s Bar is holding a race night and game show night.

Tickets are £5 and will include games like Play Your Cards Right and Deal or No Deal from 8pm.

Before the Blackburn match, Stanley players will be dropping in to Peel Park school to support their money-raising efforts, and on 16 October the Hare and Hounds pub in Clayton-le-Moors will host a Stanley night, with table-football and a penalty shoot-out against the team’s first-choice goalkeeper, plus raffle prizes.

More events have been planned for the coming weeks as the taxman’s deadline approaches, including a 25 October clash between the Stanley Ultras and Stanley Legends, featuring the club’s management team.

The Reds have also provisionally pencilled in next Thursday for a home friendly against American side Austin Aztecs, 7.45pm kick-off, subject to clearance from the football authorities.
